Rona will work as an education platform, where players simulate the events of COVID-19, whilst learning the importance of personal hygiene and the rapidity surrounding spread of viruses in general, through the documentation of how many people each player has infected.Д¬ondemnations of historical authenticity will need to be considered during the design process of Rona. In years to come, gamers who were too young to experience the events of COVID-19, can learn and understand the pandemic, through the re-enactment of experiences in Rona. By acting as digital archives, docugames teach players about both historical and current events (Grace, 2011).

These вЂњGames based archives can serve as educational experiences in themselvesвЂќ (Grace, 2011: 173). He argued that emerging media can: вЂњincrease the volume and speed of communicationsвЂќ вЂњenable interactive communicationsвЂќ, and вЂњallow forms of communication previously separate to overlap and interconnectвЂќ (Smith, 2015Дocugames- also known as вЂhistorical simulation gamesвЂ™ (Uricchio 2005), вЂhistorical video gamesвЂ™ (Chapman 2013), вЂnews gamesвЂ™ (de la PeГ±a 2011) and вЂdocumentary gamesвЂ™ (Fullerton 2008), вЂ“ вЂњfuse documentary conventions with gameplayвЂќ (Hassapopoulou, 2018). Which is by definition, communication channels or formats which are based on increasingly interactive digital technologies, according to Neuman (1991).

According to Raessens (2006), they are called вЂњdocumentary computer gamesвЂќ due to their attempt to document traumatic events in a historically correct way, whilst also playfully re-enacting them. вЂњOver the past couple of decades, digital games have become a major cultural phenomenon in Western societiesвЂќ (Kinsepp, 2006: 60), especially those which reflect current or historical events. вЂњVideo games have become an intrinsic part of our everyday livesвЂќ (Yanev, 2020: n.d).ДЄround the world, more than 2.5 billion people play videogames, and the gaming industry is currently said to be worth an estimate of $159.3 billion (WePC, 2020) (see tables below).
